Indian, Vegetarian restaurants in Singapore City

  1. A

    Komala Vilas

    This McDonald’s of Indian fare serves decent, cheap vegetarian meals all day long. Try some spicy samosas (stuffed pastries), or order the thali. Its outlet at 82 Serangoon Rd sells sugary Indian sweets.

    Ananda Bhavan

    Fill yourself up here with outstanding idli (steamed rice cakes with chutney) and masala thosai (savoury pancake filled with curried vegetables) or the enormous ‘mini’ set meal, all washed down with sublime ginger tea. There are also takeaway snacks and a tempting range of Indian sweets.

    Bombay Woodlands Restaurant

    Tucked away below street level in the Tanglin Shopping Centre, Bombay Woodlands is the sort of place you’d pass by without a glance. Don’t. The food is magnificent and cheap; go for the lunchtime buffet, or go à la carte and order the idli with terrific mint chutney, excellent dosai (try the Mysore Masala) or bhindi (okra), washed down with lassi (yoghurt-based drink). With its attentive white-shirted waiters, it has a charm not easily found in the Orchard Rd vicinity.

  4. D

    Madras New Woodlands

    This enduring vegetarian family favourite is nothing flash to look at, but sometimes you need a break from all that Bolly schmaltz. The banana-leaf thalis (veggie curries, dhal and condiment) are more than generous; the service is gracious, unintrusive and helpful to confused foreigners.

    Annalakshmi Janatha

    No-frills ‘pay what like’ Indian eatery whose profits are donated to various charities. The range of vegetarian curries and dhals are served in all-you-can-eat buffet style and are popular with the white-collar lunch crowd.

    Dosa Corner

    This lurid-lit vegetarian place is wicked! Wash your hands at the basin near the counter then chow down on 2ft rolled paper dosas (crispy pancakes) stuffed with funky potato, turmeric and onion masala.

    Rang Mahal

    Much-praised Indian in sophisticated stone and teak subcontinental surrounds. The vegetarian selection offers silky dhals, and the lunch buffets are perfect for stuffing your face – it’s a holiday right?
